Here is CNN, reporting on 9 February 2015:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n FOR COMPARISON:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Here is Russian Television (RT), on a related story, dated 10 February 2015:<\/span><\/p>\n Ukraine Bombs Lugansk Soup Kitchen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n \u2013\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n DISCUSSION:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The CNN news-report was not posted to the Internet by CNN, because too many people noticed that it was propaganda and complained; but those three screen-prints shown here from it were posted by various individuals who had complained about the piece. Because of those many complaints, CNN\u2019s reporter subsequently\u00a0apologized for what CNN had done there<\/span><\/a>, and said that \u201cthe debate in western capitals is actually about whether the United States and other NATO countries should send arms to the Ukrainian military.\u201d But, of course, that is too long for a mere streamer \u2013 just an \u201cerror,\u201d perhaps. The reporter who had delivered that news-segment, and who subsequently issued that apology said, \u201cI regret that error\u201d; so, she implicitly admitted that she was the person who had \u201cerred\u201d in it, even though other employees had controlled that streamer, and she was not the producer who produced that report. She took the fall for it, on the part of the organization, all the way up to the person who hired her, and to the person who had hired that person, all the way up to the person at the top \u2013 the CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n The RT news-report showed an incident that was not covered nor even mentioned by CNN, though the incident clearly is relevant to the question of \u201cwhether the United States and other NATO countries should send arms to the Ukrainian military.\u201d Perhaps CNN considers propagandistic such videos as RT issues. But that\u2019s for you to judge, whether one or both organizations are more propaganda than news organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n Reader-comments are consequently invited here to discuss whether, and the extent to which, readers have encountered more deception by U.S. newsmedia, or by Russian newsmedia.<\/span><\/p>\n The present news report \u2013 this one — will therefore consist of that discussion: It\u2019s yours to write, because the news here (if any) will be how the public feels about the basic honesty of the press in the U.S., and in Russia. This is your news, to write here.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n Investigative historian Eric Zuesse is the author, most recently, of They\u2019re Not Even Close: The Democratic vs. Republican Economic Records, 1910-2010<\/i><\/span><\/a>,<\/i> and of \u00a0<\/i>CHRIST\u2019S VENTRILOQUISTS: The Event that Created Christianity<\/i><\/span><\/a>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eric Zuesse FIRST: Here is CNN, reporting on 9 February 2015: \u2013\u2013 FOR COMPARISON: Here is Russian Television (RT), on a related story, dated 10 February 2015: Ukraine Bombs Lugansk Soup Kitchen \u2013\u2013 DISCUSSION: The CNN news-report was not posted to the Internet by CNN, because too many people noticed that it was propaganda and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1254,"featured_media":143582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[461,1622],"tags":[115,30,32,96,535,526,524,523,49,76,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-143581","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-editorials","8":"category-featured","9":"tag-barack-obama","10":"tag-big-brother","11":"tag-cia","12":"tag-cover-up","13":"tag-global-news","14":"tag-propaganda","15":"tag-russia","16":"tag-ukraine","17":"tag-usa-news","18":"tag-warfare","19":"tag-white-house"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1254"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Screen](\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Screen-Shot-2015-02-14-at-11.27.29-AM.CNN_.9.Feb_.2015.png\")
